Art came to life at Shanksville Elementary School in Somerset County Friday with a collaboration between high schoolers and the elementary students.

This year's theme was monsters, so the elementary school was decorated with pictures of monsters; and students read monster books like The Color Monster.

The students then drew their own monsters which were given the high school's art class who then made those drawings come to life by turning them into stuffed animals.

Those stuffed animals were then given back to the students who created them.

Elementary School secretary Gail Edwards said, “We were excited to have something fun for the kids and also include STEM into the project and, as you can see, the students obviously are in love with their stuffies.”

School officials said they choose a different theme each year.
